Careful, Early Risers: Two 5 A.M. Robberies Today

Dog walkers, early commuters, gym goers: The early morning hours on the street can be dangerous… it’s still dark and there aren’t many people out. If you are out and about on the streets in the early morning hours, take the same precautions you would if it were midnight.

I just got these two Police Alert emails in the past hour… I happened to be up early for work.

Robbery Force and Violence,5:03 a.m.,17th and R street NW. Lookout for 2 B/M on a bike one of them with a heavy build. Do not take action, call 911 w/event #I20090468341. Sent on: 08/24 05:09.
